  • TWAS an Rep IMP
    annual re2p0or1t 0 TWAS, the academy of sciences for the developing world, is an autonomous international organization that promotes scientific capacity and excellence in the South. Founded in 1983 by a group of eminent scientists under the leadership of the late Nobel laureate Abdus Salam of Pakistan, TWAS was officially launched in Trieste, Italy, in 1985, by the secretary-general of the United Nations. TWAS has nearly 1,000 members from over 90 countries. More than 80% of its members are from developing countries. A 13-member council directs the Academy activities. A secretariat, headed by an executive director, coordinates the programmes. The Academy’s secretariat is located on the premises of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy. TWAS’s administration and finances are overseen by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in accordance with an agreement signed by the two organizations. The Italian government provides a major portion of the Academy’s funding. The main objectives of TWAS are to: • Recognize, support and promote excellence in scientific research in the developing world; • Respond to the needs of young researchers in science and technology- lagging developing countries; • Promote South-South and South-North cooperation in science, technology and innovation; • Encourage scientific research and sharing of experiences in solving major problems facing developing countries. To help achieve these objectives, TWAS collaborates with a number of organizations, most notably UNESCO, ICTP and the International Centre for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (ICGEB). academy of sciences for the developing world TWAS COUNCIL President Jacob Palis (Brazil) Immediate Past President C.N.R.

  • Annual Report 2019-20
    Annual Report 2019-20 Science and Engineering Research Board Science and Engineering Research Board 2019-20 Annual Report From the Secretary's Desk I feel privileged to present the 9th Annual Report of the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), illustrating a comprehensive overview of our activities and achievements in the year 2019-2020. In this year, SERB saw the launch of several new R&D programs that offers a wider landscape for Indian researchers to seek outstanding scientific breakthroughs, making impactful contributions to our fundamental understanding and offer disruptive technologies at the cutting edge. New programs such as SERB-SUPRA (Scientific and Useful Profound Research Advancement) and SERB-Exponential Technologies intend to challenge the Indian researchers to evolve transformative concepts based on original and creative research problems, opening up newer opportunities in national S&T landscape and create the right visibility on the global stage. With ever-increasing outreach, we are at the forefront of developing a right ecosystem to crowd-source outstanding research problems, and delivery of equally unique solutions and knowledge creation. SERB is also on the forefront in bringing wider platforms for multiple players in research and development. SERB-FIRE (Fund for Industrial Research Engagement) is a new model of public-private partnership, put in motion in the reporting period, to serve as a new framework for industry-oriented research, along with capital contributions from industries. SERB-STAR (Science and Technology Award for Research) program was instituted to recognize and reward outstanding research performance in frontier areas of science and engineering. It is envisaged that SERB-STAR will be an appropriate recognition for investigators, by acknowledging their exemplary contributions in research and sustain their motivation for to undertake pioneering research.
